Our consistent performance is reflective of our strategic clarity, the strength of our brands, excellence in execution, and dynamic financial management. I am excited about our foray into the fast-evolving ‘Health and Wellbeing’ category through our strategic partnerships with OZiva and Wellbeing Nutrition. Our sustainable community development initiative ‘Prabhat’ turned 9 this year. Through Prabhat, we have made a positive difference to nearly 9 million people in the communities around our factories and depots. Looking forward, we are cautiously optimistic in the near term and believe that the worst of inflation is behind us. This should aid in a gradual recovery of consumer demand. We remain focused on managing our business with agility and continue growing our consumer franchise whilst maintaining margins in a healthy range. We stay confident of the medium to long-term potential of the Indian FMCG sector and HUL’s ability to deliver Consistent, Competitive, Profitable, and Responsible growth.”
